Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

[Big Brother, don’t forget about Lily!]

[Wangxue won’t waste Master’s nine-colored gems!]

Behind the young man, two petite girl figures manifested almost simultaneously.

The former wore emerald green, holding a blooming Azure Heart in her embrace.

The latter had light golden naturally curled hair in a bun, her pair of deer antlers also blooming with nine-colored holy light more brilliant than a rainbow.

Damn, I’ve never fought such a well-supplied battle in my life!

Feeling the overwhelming support from everyone working together, Yino felt somewhat moved to tears.

Now, forget enduring heart-piercing agony like the protagonist – Yino felt no pain at all. He even felt great about himself, experiencing a confident sense of looking down on the Mother Goddess Heart with contempt!

Unable to express in words his gratitude for everyone’s united efforts, he could only gather all the energy from various sources within his body and pour it all at once toward the Mother Goddess Heart below that was on death’s door—

Boom!!!!

Another hammer-like strike sounded.

What had taken ten minutes of agonizing torture for the original protagonist, he now accomplished effortlessly in one smooth motion, penetrating to the Mother Goddess’s deepest, most sensitive, and most vital parts.

Breaking through countless black flame barriers, he could already vaguely see the purple crystal buried deep within the heart.

At the critical moment, Yino fearlessly reached out, grasped the Abyssal Core within the purple crystal, and simultaneously erupted with his body’s maximum potential to refine it instantly.

No—!!!!!!

This time, Yino finally heard the Pain Mother Goddess’s clear wails and roars.

But it was too late. Yino had already grasped the Abyssal Core in a death grip. Today, unless he was burned to spiritual annihilation by the abyss, he would never let go!

Phoenix heir, why do you also betray the abyss—!!!!!!

At this close-combat stage, the Pain Mother Goddess’s demonic voice was truly ear-shattering like thunder.

But what confused Yino was that her lines differed from the original, and he couldn’t understand them at all.

“Phoenix heir… betrayal…?”

Yino murmured to himself, but his refining efforts didn’t slacken.

He continued to drain and absorb the Mother Goddess Heart’s abyssal energy. At the same time, the black-red curse marks crawling all over Yino’s body like serpents also glowed brilliantly from absorbing new abyssal energy, blooming with purple demonic light beneath the black flames.

Phoenix heir, you and your mother queen are both bas—!!!!!!

Another desperate curse.

But this time, the Pain Mother Goddess’s demonic voice clearly lacked momentum and confidence.

Because all her energy had been devoured by Yino, the giant heart’s pulsing frequency continuously decreased. Even the crimson light beneath the pink membranes gradually became dim and lifeless.

Correspondingly, as one rose while the other fell, the totemic curse marks on Yino’s body became more dazzling than before.

His current aura was undoubtedly that of demons and ghosts spoken of by the world. If converted to fox clan fur, it would definitely be in a glossy, peak condition. The demonic curse marks paired with black-red devil wings did indeed give off quite a sinister appearance.

However… Human physiques varied. Yino refined the abyssal energy very well, completely avoiding the backlash from abyssal power that Jinyue suffered.

“Finally, it’s over…”

As the Pain Mother Goddess’s residual power continued to fade, the black-red curse marks on Yino’s body slowly dissolved on his skin’s surface. The demonic threatening aura finally stabilized at the Nascent Soul stage without dissipating further.

He descended from the sky, landing lightly on the crimson palace floor.

As Yuyan and Liuli also descended from above one after another, Yino looked around somewhat bewildered, but ultimately directed his gaze first to the foxgirl who was leaning against the palace corner, currently suffering from abyssal energy backlash and in great pain—

“Silly girl, didn’t I say that you only needed to use illusions from the rear to help me approach the heart?”

“I never said to cover me to this extent…”

He bit his teeth with some regret.

Yino had never intended for Jinyue to work so hard helping him.

But perhaps there was a misunderstanding. Now that Jinyue had really done this, Yino had to admit that her manipulation of the Condemnation Spears had indeed relieved him of tremendous pressure…

Lost in thought, Yino blinked and suddenly thought of an unprecedented solution.

He looked down at his divine hands that had just refined the Abyssal core in an instant, then hurriedly stepped forward to help up Jinyue who was moaning in pain.

“After all, being backlashed by the Abyssal Eye is also dark-attribute energy…” Fin%d th&i*s cha$pt#er’s@ s.o&u^r&ce& on *+..

“Your body can’t handle this much. It’s perfectly reasonable for me to help you refine some of it, right?”

After refining the Abyssal Core, Yino now felt his entire body brimming with power.

However, the foxgirl slumped in the corner of the palace presented a stark contrast, her aura growing weaker.

As a seasoned player of Fallen Immortal, he understood Jinyue’s condition all too well. She wasn’t in mortal danger—it was just that every time she overused the Abyssal Eye in battle, her body would weaken from the cursed backlash.

But this weakness was only temporary.

As Jinyue’s body gradually absorbed the abyssal energy, her cultivation would advance accordingly, and her personality would slowly twist into a sickly madness as the evil energy invaded her being.

So rather than worrying about her life, he was more concerned that she might wake up completely changed, recognizing no one.

If that truly happened, Yino would be heartbroken. He had worked so hard to build mutual trust and emotional bonds with her.

What if Jinyue turned evil and reverted to the scheming demoness from the game…

An idea struck him—since Jinyue would become a crazed witch due to the abyssal energy’s backlash, and I have now refined into a demon, can’t I simply take on her suffering instead?

Damn, I’m a genius!

His eyes lit up with this realization. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and gathered the weakened Jinyue into his arms.

Ignoring the startled looks from others, he directly began unbuttoning her robes while pressing his left hand, still bearing black curse marks against Jinyue’s chest.

After all, this was his first time refining Jinyue’s abyssal energy.

Following a brief period of exploration, Yino located the right pressure points and began refining the demonic energy.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuyan and Liuli had recovered from the aftermath of their battle.

“…”

Yuyan had just sheathed her sword. Reflecting on the foxgirl’s performance during the decisive battle, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat regretful as her gaze fell.

She had to admit that Jinyue’s contribution during the final confrontation far exceeded her own, yet Yuyan had always secretly looked down on Jinyue. This situation truly made her feel ashamed.

Just as Yuyan was lost in worry, Liuli on the other side suddenly cried out in alarm—

“Master, be careful!!!”
